Description
A warm and indulgent bread pudding made with cinnamon sugar cake donuts, infused with apple cider and spiced with apple pie flavors, topped with a rich apple cider sauce.
Ingredients
- For the Pudding:
- 10 cinnamon sugar cake donuts, chopped into cubes
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. powdered apple cider drink (or boiled cider)
- ½ tsp. apple pie spice
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- For the Sauce:
- ¾ cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered apple cider
Instructions
- To Make the Bread Pudding: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8-inch pan with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, powdered apple cider, apple pie spice, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Place half of the chopped donut cubes into the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour half of the custard mixture over the donut cubes and gently press the donuts down to allow them to soak up the custard.
- Add the remaining donut cubes on top of the soaked layer. Pour the remaining custard mixture over the second layer of donuts, pressing down again to ensure all donuts are soaked.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the custard is fully set and no longer liquid in the center.
- Once done, remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the sauce.
- For the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir for about 2 minutes until the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the heavy cream and powdered apple cider, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve: Once the bread pudding has cooled a bit, drizzle the warm apple cider sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Leftover bread pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Serving Idea: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence!
